Our little boys have been sick for a week. This past
Wednesday I had to pick up the eight year old from school. Than both missed
school on Thursday and Friday. I've been trying my best to only give them
medications at night so they can sleep through the night. During the day they
get Halls
and Chloraseptic
spray.
A child's sickness is so drastically different than an
adult. Where as an adult you have the foresight to conserve energy... a child
will bounce off walls, the fever hits and than they look half dead on the
couch. It's like they surge and fizzle. One moment they look like they are
healthy and could have gone to school... the next they are dropping like flies,
fever, and napping.
The downside is that my little angels will be missing a
birthday party today. I looked up the place it is being held. And it sounds
amazing! Fliptastic... where
the birthday parties are structured around the children truly enjoying
themselves. And the woman who invited my children is absolutely amazing and
kind hearted. I feel horrible for them being sick because this is now the
second party I've had to back out of.
Our little boys are coughing, and it doesn't seem to be
going away. They have headaches, stuffy noses, and fevers from catching it over
and over again (or it mutating in them). I've been spraying everything with
Lysol, bleaching pillows, and washing bedding. I feel like I am spinning my
wheels, but trying to keep a positive outlook. They are building a stronger
immune system and they "need mommy" (I don't have Munchausen's, after
a couple days I am more than ready to be past it all).
